Chapter 148 Marine Apostle's Ability
　　
Bai Jingyan's eyes gleamed as he looked at the mutated plant, beckoning everyone to prepare to forcibly harvest it.

Although he didn't bring a guard, the researchers around him were all first-time evolvers, possessing far greater strength than ordinary people. Dealing with a mutated grass shouldn't be a problem.

Even if this grass integrated the genes of the Marine Apostle, it was only a trace, minuscule to the extreme. What waves could it make?

But soon, Bai Jingyan knew he was wrong, and very wrong at that.

Many staff members surrounded it, not carrying any heavy weapons, but only sharp cutting knives, slowly approaching the mutated plant.

But at this moment, the plant seemed to be provoked, its slender leaves sweeping over like giant pythons, instantly wrapping around a staff member with a speed the naked eye couldn't follow. At the same time, the sharp front end of the leaves instantly pierced his chest!

As blood gushed out, the blood-colored scale patterns on the plant began to glow, as if engorged with blood.

The body of the staff member who was pierced in the chest withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, soon becoming a bag of bones!

"This plant already possesses the Marine Apostle's ability to convert energy by devouring life!" Bai Jingyan said solemnly, shouting loudly: "Be careful, don't get stabbed by it!"

Clang!

With a crisp sound, the slender leaf that was wrapping the staff member was instantly cut off. Someone immediately rushed up and dragged away the companion who was almost a dried corpse.

The vitality of evolvers is tenacious. Although the staff member looked almost like a corpse, his life defects had not been destroyed, and the plant did not have the Marine Apostle's overbearing devouring ability to swallow people into its belly, which allowed him to survive.

"No need to hold back... If it really integrated the genes of the Marine Apostle, then its vitality must be extremely tenacious." Seeing the mutated plant's aggressiveness, Bai Jingyan knew that if he didn't use some tough methods, it would be difficult to bring it back today. So, with a command, everyone took out the long-range weapons manufactured by the arsenal for the pioneers.

Click!

Click!

With the loading of new energy bullets, more than a dozen muzzles were aimed at the mutated plant.

This was a new energy bullet that could even burn the bodies of secondary evolved creatures, and plants were naturally restrained by fire. Once fired, the plant would be half-crippled even if it didn't die.

Seeming to sense the threat, the plant put away its attacking posture, its dense leaves shrinking into a ball, wrapping around the root.

Seeing this scene, Bai Jingyan was even more certain of its uniqueness.

It was not a plant like a "man-eating flower" that attacked based on hunting instincts. It already possessed the ability to sense external stimuli!

It had begun to transform from a plant to an "animal"!

"Bang!"

Someone pulled the trigger, and as a new energy bullet exploded, a raging fire instantly enveloped the plant.

But in the raging fire, the plant was not burned to ashes. Its branches and leaves spread wildly around, rolling up its "kind" and drawing on their lives.

Around it, the green plants withered and died at an extremely fast rate, while it still maintained its verdant, vibrant vitality in the flames!
